What is Joy?

by Laura Stamps

Searching, searching, searching for joy. Jewelry is joy. Earrings are joy, especially earrings. I wear them every day. What’s the point of paying a stranger to drill holes in your ears if you don’t plan to fill them? With something dangly, something sparkly, every day, no matter what.
